dbx Introduces In-Ear Monitor Processor
March 11, 2001dbx recently introduced the In-Ear Monitor (IEM) processor for performers and
engineers who utilize in-ear monitoring devices. The dbx IEM enhances the sonic
quality of in-ear monitoring applications while providing the necessary audio
level protection that is essential to artists and engineers.
The IEM is one of the first digital signal processors designed specifically
for inear monitor applications. The unit's processing capabilities include 4-band
stereo compression with gating, dbx PeakStop limiting, stereo image control and
5-band parametric EQ. The IEM also includes several custom reverb algorithms using
the industry standard Lexicon technology.
"This is one of the first digital signal processors designed specifically
for in-ear monitor applications," said Rob Urry, president of Harman Music
Group. "The IEM combines dbx and Lexicon technologies to give artists and
engineers incredible processing power."
The IEM features 48-bit resolution, and dbx proprietary Type IV A/D converters
in a single rack-space unit. Parameters on the IEM earl be edited using faceplate
controls or via the included software (PC). On-board IEM firmware is updateable
via the Internet and the built-in RS-232 port. For more information, visit their web site at www.dbxpro.com. |
